DamnYankees:How is that shot infamous? Infamous is not a synonym for famous, subby.

I would have gone for "iconic" or "legendary" over "infamous" or even "famous" in the headline. That shot has been ripped off about as many times as the Odessa Steps sequence in "Battleship Potemkin". It's going to be a real groundbreaking moment in film history.

And the funny part is that wasn't even how it was planned. They were just going to have Henry and Karen go in through the front door, but the Copacabana wouldn't allow that. So they replaced it with the shot where they come in through the back.

I think my favorite use of music in Goodfellas is the Ronnettes version of "Frosty the Snowman" before Jimmy has to dress down Johnny Roastbeef and Frankie Carbone for buying a Caddy and a mink right after the Lufthansa heist.

I think Layla should be number one, it's such a great scene. And although Werewolves of London is basically the only song remembered from The Color of Money, the whole soundtrack is great. I listened to it for years then lost the tape. Now the soundtrack is no longer for sale.

No shiat. Huh.

I caught a weird 24 horu flu last week....spent saturday in that haze of half asleep body ache and watched goodfellas twice. that shot it amazing.

My favourite is the Ronettes be my baby, while the couple walks to their table through a busy night club, through the back. 20 years ago, my family and extended family used to own a lot of restaurants, whenever my wife and me wanted to visit a family owned restaurant, we used to enter through the back, the reason we entered through the back was out of respect to the chef and the owners hung out there. I used to be cool, now, I spend my time on fark and eating granola bars and yoghurt...

That "Frosty the Snowman" is so brilliantly placed in that scene i that failed to notice its significance. You are right, great use of music being that everyone is about be deader than a melted Frosty.

Mark Knopfler's "Two Brothers and a Stranger" is a fantastic instrumental track from that album.

I also liked the mention of the use of Jackson Browne's "Late for the Sky" in Taxi Driver. That film is -- understandably -- more famous for Bernard Hermann's incredible score, but that song just fits so perfectly there. It's the soundtrack for the moment when Travis finally truly snaps.

Hehe, they we're always gonna get whacked. This scene is great, but the sequence when Henry is running all over town, looking like shiat, with the helicopter following and his idiot mule stressing him out and making the cutlets and all that is my favourite part of the movie.

The visual of the discarded pair of shoes on the American Bandstand dance floor is the perfect visual during this sequence...sort of a metaphor for Travis as discarded and unneeded by the rest of the world dancing around him. Amazing little sequence of film.

This one' called Martin ScorseseHe makes the best farking films (x2)If I ever meet him I'm gonna grab his farkin' neck and just shake himAnd say thank you thank you for makin' such excellent farkin' moviesThen I'd twist his nose all the way the fark aroundAnd the rip off one of his ears and throw itLike a like a like a farkin' frisbeeI wanna chew his farkin' lips off and grab his head and suck out one of hiseyes and chew on it and spit it out in his faceAnd thank you thank you for all of your farkin' filmsThen I'd pick him up by the hair swing him over my head a few timesAnd throw him across the room and kick all his farkin' teeth in and thenstomp on his face 40 or 50 timesCuz he makes the best farking films he makes the best farking filmsI've ever seen in my lifeI farkin love himI farkin love him

TimeCubeFan:Fail without Devo's 'Satisfaction' from Casino. Perfect song choice.

Came here to say that myself. The whole 'industrial breakdown' feel of the song is perfect for the tension and nervous energy of the scene. And the click of the door lock on that downbeat to cut everything off. Perfect.
